Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- 3 tablespooons water
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon dry milk powder (for baking)
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Steps
Prepare the Roux or bread starter by mixing the milk, water, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens slightly but isn't pasty. Remove from heat and let cool.
Fit a stand mixer with a dough hook. Add the roux and all the Dough ingredients together, mixing on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes.
Increase the speed to medium-low and knead for another 5-6 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, elastic, and soft. If kneading by hand, it will take about 15-20 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 90 minutes, or until puffy. Divide the dough into 9 portions, shape each portion into a ball, and place them in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) baking pan. Cover the rolls and let them rise again for 50 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Brush the surface of the rolls with milk and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
